_________________________

From March 19 to 27 7 Mexican participants representing Esperanza del Mañana AC attended the 2nd exchange of the YEEE project (youth education on environment entrepreneurship) sponsored by the European community and ERASMUS +. In this exchange in which 6 countries participated (Italy, Ecuador, Paraguay, Portugal, Spain and Mexico) the work revolved around environmental education, through non-formal education activities, we were able to share experiences and knowledge that strengthened our vision and ability to act. Each country shared a workshop addressing different issues such as waste management, responsible water consumption, organic agriculture, permaculture and recycling.

This event was held in Ligonchio, Italy, at the Ostello dei Ballochi, where workshops for children and young people are held combining environmental education with art, trekking and work with donkeys. Likewise, we were able to meet 2 social enterprises from the same region that seek to generate jobs, avoid emigration and promote collective work. Without doubt, this type of experience favors the process of sensitization and empowerment of the participants. Providing ideas and knowledge that can be replicated in our countries. Grazie Italia!
